As I wrote in the previous post, the pen tip cursor started jumping.
This time I did not only separate the Eraser into a new cursor, but I did it with the Pen too, so now there are 3 cursors on my desktop, and I'm waiting for one of them to jump.

1.) Insert your USB Mp3-player to an USB slot, let it mount automatically.2.) Check the System Monitor -> File Systems for the proper /dev address of your device (In my case this is /dev/sdc1)3.) Open a normal Nautilus window and press the Eject button next to the usb device, which causes the device to unmount but stay in the system: If you open your "Computer" location from "Places", you'll see your device is still there.4.) Open a root Nautilus:~$ sudo nautilus5.) Create a directory in your /media folder that will be your mount point for your player (I named mine "player")6.) Mount your mp3-player with root access to the desired mount point: ~$ sudo mount /dev/sdc1 /media/player7.) Now you can manage your files in the root Nautilus as you like.

Unlucky me...I got my TC4400 back from the Service with a whole new screen and motherboard, and now - unlucky me... - the pen tip is the one causing the cursor jump and NOT the eraser as before. I was quite fine with not having an eraser as it solved my problems completely, but I'm pretty unsatisfied with not being able to use the pen tip, so I guess I'll have to do a big workaround and hope for the best.

As for differences, now the cursor jumps when it's caught by the pen too.

If this doesn't work (e.g. the option is unchecked but the key sequence still works), you can edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf:

The DontZap option in the /etc/X11/xorg.conf file enables or disables the CTRL-ALT-BACKSPACE shortcut to restart the X-server. In previous Ubuntu releases, this shortcut was enabled by default, however this has changed with 9.04 "Jaunty", as a number of users have complained about accidentally restarting their X-Server, which results in a sudden, unexpected logout which brings to the logon screen.

You can install the dontzap package and use the command dontzap --disable, or you can manually edit your /etc/X11/xorg.conf,

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf

then type your password, press enter, and use the simple text editor to add a ServerFlags section like this to the start, end, or middle of the file (Ctrl+O to save file):

Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "false"EndSection

And then restart the Computer (or log out and back in) to apply the changes. The shortcut should be re-enabled now.

If you want to disable the shortcut, either delete the section (in Jaunty) or change it to this or add this:

Section "ServerFlags" Option "DontZap" "true"EndSection

And then restart the Computer (or log out and back in) to apply the changes. The shortcut should be disabled now.
